Proposals
process
1. Presales or implementation team should write the proposal in user stories format in order to clarify the scope for estimators
2. Product Owner [TL] should be assigned for the proposal
3. There are 2 ways of planning the project:
a. Agile
1. A team should be grouped in order to estimate the project
2. Proposal estimation should be occurred using Story point, considering the predefined reference point[1]
3. Poker technique is the effort estimation method[2]
4. Presales team should take the responsibility for generating the user stories
5. Both Reference points and team velocity should be identified in order to estimate both effort and schedule
b. Traditional way:
1. Estimation sheet should be prepared per feature
2. Estimation from each team should be gathered
4. Selection of the estimation methodology should be identified according to the team availability and time frame
5. Estimation should be reviewed from both TL and DM
PLC6.
Requirement
Gathering process
1. User stories should be an input to requirements gathering phase and subject to change by the analyst role
2. No dependency on Emails to be considered as source of requirements, so requirements documents should be updated by approved communication channels requirements
3. Scrum master [TL] should arrange elicitation meeting schedule with the client
4. TL should act the analysis role with the client in requirements phase
5. TL should act the architect role with the client in integration phase
6. The UI team should attend the requirements gathering meeting
7. UI should follow the UX patterns for each platform according to the usability checklist.
8. Acceptance test should take place in requirements gathering phase
9. TL is responsible for resolving the conflicts between teams in UX, GFX and requirements
10. Escalation can take place to top management (DM) in order to resolve conflicts
11. Localization document should be ready for all platforms in order to clarify the following:
o Captions
o All Messages
PLC7.
Solution
architecture and implementation process
1. Business analysis models (Use case model, use cases, activity diagram) should take place in solution design document
2. Absence of the analysis models is subject to prevent the solution implementation
3. Project technical facilitator should act as a reference point in proposed or required architecture in order to provide platforms consistencies
4. Modifications to the base-lined architecture by the team should be approved from the platform TL
5. The following measures should be subject to track in order to support teams and organization performance, and can be an evaluation factor for platform KPI:
1. Reusable components used
2. No. of developed reusable components
6. System test cases preparation should take place in this phase
7. Static models should take place in solution design document
8. Interaction models should take place in solution design document
9. Deployment models should take place in solution design document
10. Integration document should be provided by the client with our latest integration document format
11. Unit test activities should be conducted on the given integration methods (API or web services) using the given integration document specification
12. Code review should take place by team lead to the selected areas of concerns.
13. RCA should be conducted and corrective actions should take place in order to prevent such issues and increase team knowledge.
14. Considering defensive programming in development in order to cover alternative business scenarios and exception handling even if not covered in use cases definition.
PLC8.
Configuration
management policies
1. CCB Definition
1. Project CCB should be identified for each project
2. Product CCB consists of:
1. DM
2. Technical team lead (Scrum Master)
3. Product Owner or any of customer representatives
4. CC (Configuration controller)
2. Change request Scope
1. Requirements scope should be clear [written in user stories format] in order to evaluate the change request within the higher level scope or not.
2. Evaluation of the change request to identify effected work products
3. functional and physical audits should take place.
3. REPO
1. For internal projects, DM or TL can be the product owner, so he can do the same PM and CM responsibilities.
2. CM representative generates the REPO [Trello Board or TFS, as process] according to REPO Standard
3. Access should be given to the team members throw only the CM representative
4. CM representative should conduct functional and physical audit each iteration
5. Identification of configurable items should take place within the project, and plan for readiness in its correct time, and use it as a base for the project.
6. Change request approval should take place by project CCB
7. All team members should submit the work every day in order to prevent work loss.
8. CM representative should backup the CM TOOL periodically in order to prevent organization assets loss
9. Version labels should be generated in the following cases:
1. for each iteration and solution delivery
2. in critical modifications for the solutions, like refactoring or replacement of the components or classes.
10. CM TOOL commit should include comments for submission
11. Communication for the project work products should be kept only under configuration management environment
12. CC is the responsible to distribute the work products between the producers and the consumers of the documents
13. Only one version of the work products should be kept under the Configuration management tool in order to prevent confusion
14. CC should check the existence of latest changes before building the solution in order to save both testing team and development team effort
15. CM representative is responsible for continuous integration in order to keep software updated by latest scope and other changes.

PLC9. Project planning
1.
Guidelines
1. User stories should be prepared by Pre-Sales team or implementation team
2. Effort [Re] estimation should be done using user stories and poker technique
3. Software lifecycle is iterative time-boxed model
4. Product owner and scrum master should be identified for each the project
5. Project planning should be based on 6 hours work estimation
6. The difference between planning calculation base and total working hours is related to direct manager responsibility in order to communicate and facilitate function issues
7. Effort estimation should contain all activities within the project (UX-GFX-ANS-ARCH-DESIGN-QC-QA)
8. Assumptions should be given to the proposal in case on non-clear requirements
9. Iteration time box will be as follow:
1. One week for projects less than 2 months
2. Two weeks for projects more that the given time box
11. Project tasks should be prioritized by the product owner and the customer using task dependencies between project resources.
12. Project tasks should be sliced by development team according to customer perspective
13. Iteration stories should be unified across all platforms in order to increase support in between both development teams and QC team
14. Plan should be sent to relevant stakeholders in order to define the work scope for each iteration, for example QC should know the iteration scope in order to focus on
15. Project calendar should be settled including (employees VAC days and public holidays)
16. Rework% ranges can support the risk management effort estimation margin
17. Reusability cost% and saving% should be calculated in order to support the management for price negations, scope risk management and competition

o Setting priority for the issues
o Set iteration planning
- Each release will contain four iteration
- The first three iterations will be dedicated for the following activities
o 20% refactoring till finish, and then moved to development %.
o 60% development
§ 25% of them requirements
§ 75% of them for bugs
o 20% testing and rework
- The fourth iteration will be dedicated to consolidation of the previous three iteration and issues closure.
- After scope selection between the CCB, the development Rep and QC rep share in setting the user stories before the detailed analysis occurs.
- A detailed analysis should be occurred and delivered to the QC team
- Peer review process should be occurred between DEV and QC Rep.
- Building test cases upon the delivered test cases should take place in parallel while development team is building the solution architecture.
- Test cases should be delivered to development team before releasing the version to the QC team in order to consider the test cases alternative paths and exceptions.

|
Feature |
A new added value group of requirements to be added to the solution. Ex: Hijri support in software |
|
Requirement Or Enhancement |
A detailed execution instructions that belongs to main feature. It needs analysis, architecture, detailed design, and implementation phases. Ex: Main Feature: Issuing items from stores Requirement: Check balance before issuing items from stores. |

2. Do what
3. When
4. with what effort
5. Definition for done criteria
6. Obtain resources commitment on the assigned tasks.
2. QC Involvement:
1. Version should be sent the QC team at the end of the iteration by the updated actual scope by both TL and PM
2. QC team should document the test cases for the current iteration at earlier stage
3. QC Team run the setup over the client original client(s) database version, in order to detect missing DB structure updates in beta version
4. In order to have updated quality status, Review for the old issues, and changing status to its relevant is one of the majors to be done.
5. Testing for the previous iteration scope should be occurred with documenting for the issues under the tracking system.
6. Daily review the entered issues by other teams, like support team, in order to act proactive to the version
7. Update for the issue status as required, for Example if it needs additional clarification, QC Rep should update the status to NMI, and the same for each issue as required.
8. Update test case according to the findings in order to publish the changes between teams
3. Evaluate iteration
In order to enhance team performance and reduce rework, the following measures should be calculated and analyzed for both internal and external delivery:
1. Team velocity, the productivity of the team which leads to know the actual delivery date according to the performance
2. Follow-up effort[1]
3. Interruption: Interruption should be tracked within iteration in order to re-plan consideration
4. Idle time
5. Rework effort
6. Task ownership
7.
4. Follow-up Meetings:
1. Daily startup meeting should be conducted between development team and product owner in order to support and track the project performance, so that will increase platform consistency, project focus, reduce tracking time, and taking corrective actions early.
2. Mid-day meeting: for confirming that all work is working under the correct track.
3. Meetings scope clarifies the following:
· What done
· What in progress
· What leaks the project performance?
4. Raising issues should be performed in the suitable time in order to take corrective actions early from required resource(s)
5. Lessons learnt should be documented incrementally within the project execution, and take process and procedures required changes and suitable project corrective actions.
